INHO, you need to up your calories. At your 1200 cals, you are heading to starvation mode if you have any kind of activity level at all. Just being alive will require 1700 calories if you follow the rule of thumb. Do some home work, take a hard look at your activity level, then adjust your calories to account for that. Then cut back 500 calories.
 
here are the number for today

You shouldn't be eating reduced fat anything. Fat is your friend. Just aim for 1:1 protein fat grams ratio, and eat lots of green veggies heavy on fiber. How many days in are you? Life is great around day 4-5 in ketosis. Do hiit cardio do deplete glycogen to speed things up.
 
Remember to subtract fiber grams from carbs. Fiber has a minimal effect on blood sugar/insulin.

Have you lost any weight? I have seen people when they start this drop weight like a hot rock in the first few days. Of course it was mainly water.
 
I'm doing a similar diet, but I'm on like 2600-2800 cal/day with P:300ish C:40 or less F:150-200. I'm down about 11lbs in 2.5 weeks. I live keto dieting. I find it really easy too with the use of Alphamine, and Recompadrol. I have 0 lack in energy. Just make sure you do some re-feeds over the course of the plan to keep your progress going. Good stuff bro!

Every 2-3 weeks you should have a day with a higher quantity of carbs to spike your metabolism (along with a drop in protein, and much less fat - less than 50g). As well as replenishing glycogen stores, refeeds raise leptin levels and "resets" your metabolism. After too long a dieting, your metabolism slows and leptin levels lower. Refeeds act as a way to trick your body into resetting This is how I understand it to work.

Every 2-3 weeks you should have a day with a higher quantity of carbs to spike your metabolism (along with a drop in protein, and much less fat - less than 50g). As well as replenishing glycogen stores, refeeds raise leptin levels and "resets" your metabolism. After too long a dieting, your metabolism slows and leptin levels lower.

Thanks for the heads up papo. I read one article from BB.com that I should do that every week. Just for the weekend.
Only supplement I'm taking now is orange triad and protein after workouts. Gonna start creatine next week.
Question, should I take dextrose after workouts? I'm also considering androfactory lean cut. Only hesitation is that I work as a federal firefighter so we can get piss tested whenever

I would not be taking dextrose if you are trying to stay in Ketosis. It is sugar. I know some may disagree with me, but sugar is sugar. That will knock you right out of ketosis. The stuff employers look for when urine testing is illegal drugs. They are not worried about your creatine levels and the stuff in Orange Triad. If you are really worried about it, go talk to your HR person and ask about the suppliments.

Oh I know that creatine and orange triad is not what they are looking for. The one I am worried about is the androfactory lean cut cause its a PH

I deal with drug tests at work in a management role. The tests usually look for opiates, pot and alcohol. In a number of ways, the use of an OTC ph is really no one's business unless the use of steroids (or other substances) are expressly forbidden in your employee manual. Again, if you can talk to your HR person to find what they are screening for.
